availability
Circuit information
Before installing the machine, consider the avail-
ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion, fire, or equipment damage, installation work
and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
electrician in accordance with all applicable codes
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup-
ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult a qualified electrician if
you are unsure about wiring practices or
electrical codes in your area.
Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power
supply.
Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-
ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul-
tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
Circuit Requirements for 220v
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V
power supply circuit that has a verified ground and
meets the following requirements:
full-Load Current Rating at 220v ....... 7 amps
full-Load Current Rating at 110v...... 14 amps
nominal voltage .............................. 220v/240v
Cycle..........................................................60 hz
phase........................................... single-phase
power supply Circuit ......................... 15 amps
plug/Receptacle ............................. nEMa 6-15
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
Circuit Requirements for 110v
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over-
loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the requirements in the following section.
This machine can be converted to operate on a
110V power supply (refer to Voltage Conversion
instructions) that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
nominal voltage ...............................110v/120v
Cycle..........................................................60 hz
phase........................................... single-phase
power supply Circuit ......................... 20 amps
plug/Receptacle ............................. nEMa 5-20

Grounding Requirements
GROUNDED
This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.
5-20 RECEPTACLE
Hot
Neutral
5-20 PLUG
For 220V operation: This machine is equipped
with a power cord that has an equipment-ground-
ing wire and a grounding plug (see following fig-
ure). The plug must only be inserted into a match-
ing receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Grounding Prong
figure 5. typical 5-20 plug and receptacle.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec-
essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
GROUNDED
6-15 RECEPTACLE
Current Carrying Prongs
6-15 PLUG
Check with a qualified electrician or service per-
sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon-
nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.
Grounding Prong
figure 4. typical 6-15 plug and receptacle.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
No adapter should be used with the
provided plug. If the plug does not fit the
available receptacle, or the machine must
be reconnected for use on a different type
of circuit, the reconnection must be made
by a qualified electrician and comply with all
local codes and ordinances.
Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:
For 110V operation: The plug specified under
“Circuit Requirements for 110V” on the previ-
ous page has a grounding prong that must be
attached to the equipment-grounding wire inside
the included power cord. The plug must only be
inserted into a matching receptacle (see below)
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Minimum Gauge size...........................12 awG
Maximum Length (shorter is Better).......50 ft.

Cleanup
Gasoline or products
with low flash points can
explode or cause fire if
used to clean machin-
ery. Avoid cleaning with
these products.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if concentrat-
ed amounts are inhaled.
Only work in a well-venti-
lated area.
There are many ways to remove this rust preven-
tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces. Test all cleaners
in an inconspicuous area before using to
make sure they will not damage paint.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
•
•
•
•
Disposable Rags
Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses.
2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak
for 5–10 minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper,
scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe
off the rest with the rag.
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.

site Considerations
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
The physical environment where your machine
is operated is important for safe operation and
the longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.

Lifting & placing
anchor studs
the Model G0717 is a
heavy machine. serious
personal injury may occur
if safe moving methods
are not used. to be safe,
get assistance and use
power equipment to move
the shipping crate and
remove the machine from
the crate.
lag shield anchor
and lag screw
figure 8. typical fasteners for mounting to
concrete floors.
use a forklift rated for the machine weight to lift
the machine off the pallet and onto a suitable
location.
NOTICE
anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
Mounting
although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
generally, you can either bolt your machine to
the floor or mount it on machine mounts. Both
options are described below. Whichever option
you choose, we recommend leveling your machine
with a precision level.
using Machine Mounts
using machine mounts, shown in figure 9, gives
the advantage of fast leveling and vibration reduc-
tion. the large size of the foot pads distributes
the weight of the machine to reduce strain on the
floor.
Bolting to Concrete floors
lag shield anchors with lag screw (figure 8) and
anchor studs (figure 8) are two popular meth-
ods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor.
We suggest you research the many options and
methods for mounting your machine and choose
the best that fits your specific application.
figure 9. Machine mount example.
NOTICE
we strongly recommend securing your
machine to the floor if it is hardwired to the
power source. Consult with your electrician
to ensure compliance with local codes.

sECtiOn 4: OpERatiOns
to complete a typical cutting operation, the
operator does the following:
Operation Overview
1. examines the workpiece to make sure it is
suitable for cutting.
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
2. raises the headstock, then closes the
downfeed valve.
3. adjusts the headstock angle for the type of
cut, then securely clamps the workpiece in
the vise.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and seek additional training from expe-
rienced machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
4. adjusts the guides as close as possible to the
workpiece without contacting it, and verifies
that the blade is properly tensioned.
5. adjusts the downfeed rate adjust knob for the
correct feed rate.
to reduce the risk of
serious injury when using
this machine, read and
understand this entire
manual before operating.
6. Makes sure the workpiece and bandsaw are
stable and that there are no obstructions in
the way of the cut.
7. puts on safety glasses.

note: It is sometimes possible to flip the
blade inside out, in which case the blade will
be installed in the wrong direction. Check to
make sure the blade teeth are facing toward
the workpiece, as shown in Figure 28, after
mounting on the bandsaw. Some blades will
have a directional arrow as a guide.
Blade tension
proper tension is essential to avoid blade vibra-
tion, twist, or`slippage on the wheels. a correctly
tensioned blade provides long life, straight cuts,
and efficient cutting times.
the three major signs of incorrect blade tension
are: 1) the blade stalls in the cut and slips on the
wheels, 2) the blade frequently breaks, and 3) the
bandsaw does not make straight cuts.
Blade Travel
to tension the blade on the bandsaw:
1. Make sure the blade is tracking properly.

Blade tracking
Blade Breakage
The blade tracking has been properly set at
the factory. The tracking will rarely need to be
adjusted if the bandsaw is used properly.
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to
break. some of these conditions are unavoidable
and are the natural result of the stresses placed
on the bandsaw; other causes of blade breakage
are avoidable.
to adjust the blade tracking on the bandsaw,
loosen or tighten the tracking adjustment bolt and
lock nut in figure 30 until the blade is tracking
properly. the blade is tracking properly when the
back of the blade is approximately 1⁄16" away from
the flange of both wheels.
the most common causes of avoidable blade
breakage are:
•
Faulty alignment or adjustment of the blade
guides.
tracking
adjustment Bolt
& lock nut
•
Forcing or twisting a wide blade around a
tight radius.
•
•
•
•
Feeding the workpiece too fast.
dull or damaged teeth.
over-tensioned blade.
top blade guide assembly set too high above
the workpiece. adjust the top blade guide
assembly so that there is approximately
1
⁄
8"–1⁄4" between the bottom of the assembly
and the workpiece. understand that with
smaller workpieces, this may not be possible.
in these cases, simply adjust the blade guide
as far down as possible.

use.
using the wrong blade pitch (tpi) for the

thumb is to have no fewer than three teeth
in contact with the workpiece when starting a
cut and at all times during cutting.

Blade Care &
Break-in
Downfeed
downfeed is controlled by two knobs on the con-
trol panel.
Blade Care
to set the feed rate:
to prolong blade life, always use a blade with the
proper width, set, type, and pitch for each applica-
tion. Maintain the appropriate feed rate, feed pres-
sure, and blade speed and pay attention to the
chip characteristics (refer to the Chip inspection
Chart on page 31). Keep your blades clean, since
dirty or gummed up blades pass through the
cutting material with much more resistance than
clean blades, causing unnecessary heat.
1. raise the bow to the highest position.
2. set the downfeed rate Knob in figure 31 to
the desired feed rate.
downfeed rate
Knob
downfeed start/
stop Knob
Blade Break-in
the tips and edges of a new blade are extremely
sharp. Cutting at too fast of a feed rate or too
slow of a blade speed can fracture these tips and
edges, quickly dulling the blade. properly break-
ing-in a blade allows these sharp edges to wear
without fracturing, thus keeping the blade sharp
longer. Below is a typical break-in procedure. For
aftermarket blades, refer to the manufacturer's
break-in procedure to keep from voiding the war-
ranty.
figure 31. Feed rate controls.
use the Chip inspection Chart on page 31 as
a guide to evaluate the chips and ensure that
the optimal blade speed and feed rate are being
used.
3. turn the downfeed start/stop knob to the left
to lower the bow at the feed rate you have
set. turning the knob to the right locks the
bow in position.
to properly break-in a new blade:
1. Choose the correct speed for the blade and
material of the operation.

vise
Blade Guide arms
the blade guide bearings are mounted on the
front and rear arms. the upper arm is adjustable
and should be set as close to the workpiece as
possible. this will help ensure straight cuts by
keeping the blade from twisting and drifting off of
the cut line. it also maximizes safety by exposing
only enough blade to make the cut.
always turn the saw OFF and allow the blade
to come to a complete stop before using the
vise! failure to follow this caution may lead
to injury.
the vise has a quick release feature that allows
jaw width to be quickly adjusted when changing
from one sized material to another.
to adjust the rear blade guide arm:
loosen the knob shown in figure 38 and slide
the rear blade guide as close to the workpiece as
possible, then tighten the knob.
to rapidly change the vise jaw gap:
1. turn the handwheel counterclockwise to
relieve any pressure on the vise jaw.

Cutting fluid
BiOLOGiCaL and pOisOn
hazaRD!
While simple in concept and function, many
issues must be taken into account to find and use
the correct cutting fluid. always follow all product
warnings and contact the fluid manufacturer for
unanswered questions.
use the information below as a guideline to
choose the appropriate cutting fluid. always refer
to the cutting fluid manufacturer for specific appli-
cation and safety information:
the reservoir on this machine is designed
to store cutting fluid. During storage, some
fluids grow dangerous microbes, or due to
the collection of toxic metal chips in the
fluid, the fluid can become a potent and
extremely poisonous solution to humans
and animals.
•
For cutting low alloy, low carbon, and gen-
eral-purpose category metals with a bi-metal
blade—use a water soluble cutting fluid.
•
For cutting stainless steels, high carbon, and
high alloy metals, brass, copper and mild
steels—use "neat Cutting oil" (commonly
undiluted mineral oils) that have extreme
pressure additives (ep additives).
usE the correct personal protection
equipment when handling cutting fluids to
prevent infections and poisoning.
•
For cutting cast iron, cutting fluid is not rec-
ommended.
usE a good bactericide and fungicide for
additional protection.
Remember: Too much flow at the cutting fluid
nozzles will make a mess and can make the work
area unsafe; and not enough fluid at the cut will
heat the blade, causing the blade teeth to load up
and break.
fOLLOw federal, state, and the fluid
manufacturer requirements to properly
dispose of cutting fluid when it becomes
unsafe.
tip: Using a refractometer or hydrometer to
replenish water in water-based coolant can extend
the life of blades and coolant, and ensure consis-
tent cutting results.
NOTICE
Clean coolant system with a bactericide and
fungicide between coolant changes to pre-
vent recontamination.

3. Fill the reservoir with your chosen cutting fluid
solution and replace the rear panel.
fiRE hazaRD! DO nOt
cut magnesium when
using oil-water solutions
as a cutting fluid! always
use a cutting fluid intend-
ed for magnesium. the
water in the solution will
cause a magnesium-chip
fire.
4. Make sure the cutting fluid control valve is
turned OFF.
5. turn the cutting fluid pump switch ON before
making your cut.
6. adjust the valve on the coolant hose to con-
trol the flow of cutting fluid (see figure 40).
Make sure that the pressure is not so high
that cutting fluid spills on the floor and creates
a slipping hazard.
this bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system
that extends the life of your bandsaw blades
by lowering the temperature of the blade and
workpiece when cutting.

•
Wait until the blade has completely stopped
before removing the workpiece from the vise,
and avoid touching the cut end—it could be
very hot!
Operation tips
the following tips will help you safely and effec-
tively operate your bandsaw, and help you get the
maximum life out of your saw blades.
•
•
•
support long pieces so they won't fall when
cut, and flag the ends to alert passers-by of
potential danger.
•
use the work stop to quickly and accurately
cut multiple pieces of stock to the same
length.
adjust the blade guides as close as possible
to the workpiece to minimize side-to-side
blade movement.
•
Clamp the material firmly in the vise jaws to
ensure a straight cut through the material,
and use the positive lock to speed produc-
tion.
use coolant when possible to increase blade
life.
NOTICE
Loosen blade tension at the end of each day
to prolong blade life.
•
•
let the blade reach full speed before engag-
ing the workpiece.
never start a cut with the blade in contact
with the workpiece, and do not start a cut on
a sharp edge.
•
pay attention to the chips produced by the
cutting operation and use their appearance
to fine-tune the blade speed, feed speed, and
pressure (refer to the Chip inspection Chart
on page 31).
